Raddysh scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins in the Stadium Series.
Victor Hedman (elbow) was eased back into a seven-defensemen lineup, with Raddysh seeing a team-high 29:38 of ice time. Even with the Lightning's blue line at full strength, there's no reason to reduce Raddysh's role, as he has scored in four straight games and has seven points in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old has 16 goals, 49 points (18 on the power play), 124 shots on net, 46 hits, 46 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 47 appearances.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Offensive skills continue to shine
Rotowire
Raddysh had a goal and two assists Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Jets.
The goal -- his 15th of the season -- stood as the winner. Raddysh seems to have come out of nowhere this season, but his skill has been there for a long time. While undrafted out of junior, Raddysh won the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the OHL's top defender in 2016-17. He currently sits sixth in the league in scoring with 47 points from the blue line; he's tied with Cale Makar for third in goals. Raddysh is on a three-game goal (three) and point (five) streak; it includes 11 shots and two power-play goals.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Record book night with hattie
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a hat trick Saturday in a 7-3 win over San Jose.
It was Raddysh's first NHL hattie, and he became the third defenseman in franchise history to accomplish the feat, joining Dan Boyle (Dec. 23, 2006) and Doug Crossman (Nov. 7, 1992). Remarkably, he and brother Taylor Raddysh (Oct. 23, 2025) became the first set of brothers to each score a hat trick against the same team in more than 40 years when Quebec Nordiques teammates Marian (Oct. 21, 1982) and Peter Stastny (Dec. 11, 1982) did it against the Penguins. "It's pretty special," Raddysh said after the game. "This organization has a lot of unbelievable players come through there, through their time, and you know, to be a part of this is something special. And I don't take (it) too lightly."

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Skipping practice Monday
Rotowire
Raddysh will not be in attendance for Monday's practice for personal reasons, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
For now, Raddysh should be considered a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's contest versus the Islanders. The blueliner has been red hot of late, racking up two goals and 11 helpers in his last eight contests, including four power-play points. The Bolts haven't called up an extra defenseman from the minors yet, which is a good sign that Raddysh will be back with the team to face New York.

Raddysh had a goal and two assists in a 6-3 victory over Detroit on Friday.
The goal came on the power play. Raddysh has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his past seven games. He has really stepped into the void created by injuries to Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed). Raddysh is a worthy addition while those two are out.

Rotowire
Raddysh potted a goal, tallied two assists, placed two shots on net and picked up two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over New Jersey.

With Hedman's timetable still unknown, Raddysh is a strong streaming option in fantasy across most formats.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Didn't travel with team
Rotowire
Raddysh stayed back in Tampa Bay for the birth of his child and will miss Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Raddysh figures to be back in the lineup when the Bolts return home to face the Stars on Thursday, though that hasn't been officially confirmed. The team went with seven blueliners in their most recent contests, but without Raddysh available, the Lightning will likely reinsert forward Curtis Douglas into the lineup.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Departs Sunday's game
Rotowire
Raddysh (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo, and head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on his status after the game, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Raddysh logged 9:06 of ice time prior to exiting in the second period. The Lightning went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen Sunday due to a few injuries up front, so they'll need to promote someone from AHL Syracuse if Raddysh is forced to miss any time. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's potential preview of a first-round playoff matchup against the Panthers.
